Movable studios to prevent youth homelessness
Relocatable studio accommodation to help young South Australians avoid homelessness is one of the innovative projects funded under the Marshall Liberal Government’s new $20 million Homelessness Prevention Fund.
Following a competitive tender process, the first $4.4 million has been awarded to two new projects, which aim to deliver reductions in homelessness across the state.
New homelessness prevention projects include:
Kids Under Cover – Studio Program $2.3 million
Consortium of UnitingCare Wesley Bowden, Junction Australia, Kornar Winmil Yunti Aboriginal Corporation (KWY) – Private Rental Support Pilot $2.1 million
Minister for Human Services Michelle Lensink said today’s first round of successful applicants under the $20 million fund would empower and assist South Australians at risk of homelessness.
